My, My, My – What do we have here? This is a deer who is checking me out as I check them out.
He/she is peaking his/her head out of the foliage while I try to move in for a close-up. God’s fauna are incredible. They are so elegant and classic. I think animals and wildlife need to be treated better by humanity.
I can only think of all the animals who were killed during the fires in BC this summer and then the flooding that followed soon afterwards. My heart goes out to all of God’s creatures.
With my art, I am often in a zen-type of mood and with my photography, I feel as if I am inspired by God or the Universe to capture these moments in time.

I like the Canada Geese playing and frolicking in front of the fountain. I have made it black and white to make it more interesting. This picture was taken only a few weeks ago but the fountain has been already closed down due to dropping temperatures and because of the recent snow already.
There were still Canada geese at the Duck Pond in Assiniboine Park yesterday when I went for my walk. I do not know why the few stragglers have not flown south for the winter. They should be going soon.

Bambi II
I find all deer adorable and yet stunningly beautiful. This one is called Bambi II because I highlighted another one earlier on. This one is more like the Disney version with the light brown fur and little horns starting off.
I like his huge black eyes and his black little nose. I like how big his ears are and how he is attentively listening to his environment.
According to Canadian Geographic, “The deer is a great jumper and runner. It can reach speeds of up to 58 kilometres per hour (36 miles per hour). Like a cow, the white-tailed deer’s stomach has four compartments. This allows food to be processed more efficiently and means that the deer can feed on things that other mammals cannot process.”
This was taken in the Jasper and Banff area of Alberta.

Manitoba Bison – Photography by Mary Mikawoz Click image or link to see entire photograph
Manitoba Bison
This is a photograph I took of the master bison of the herd. He was definitely the largest and the most dominant. He led the other bison on a rampage towards me as they thought I had food for them.
This image reminds me of the University of Manitoba Bison symbol and logo. Even though I am alma mater to several Universities and Colleges across Canada, my biggest connection is as alumna to the University of Manitoba.
I love this bison because he is majestic, strong and perfect.

I took this photograph of this chimpanzee sauntering along in nature and captured him framed with beautiful pink flowers around him. It was taken at the Honolulu Zoo in Waikiki, Hawaii.
According to the Honolulu Zoo Website, an interesting fact is that “Chimpanzees and bonobos are equally humanity’s closest living relatives. As such, they are among the largest-brained, and most intelligent of primates.”
Also, “The Common chimpanzee occupies a broad range compared to the bonobo and can be found in 21 African countries. They are found north of the River Congo in humid closed-canopy forests, montane forest (up to 6,500 ft.), seasonally dry forests and savanna-woodlands.”

This is a close-up photograph of a white parrot taken at the Bloedel Conservatory in Queen Elizabeth Park in Vancouver, BC. You can see its feather as if they are petals of a flower elegantly spread out on her body. I like the way she has her face angled.

I took this photo of this beautiful White Arctic Wolf at the Edmonton Valley Zoo.
According to the City of Edmonton website, “Arctic wolves are well adapted to survive subzero temperatures, up to five months of darkness and weeks without food. To blend in with their surroundings, they are usually white with grey or brown undertones.”

Here is an image of free range buffalo or bison in the Wild West of Canada. They are roaming freely across the grassy foothills of the mountains. It is part of the Bison Paddock Road in Waterton Lakes National Park. I like the way the scenery is composed by nature.

These really aren’t my two bears but I think they are adorable and cute even though they are dangerous and wild. I took the photograph near Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta, Canada.
According to Wikipedia, “The brown bear (Ursus arctos) is a bear species found across Eurasia and North America. In North America, the populations of brown bears are called grizzly bears. It is one of the largest living terrestrial members of the order Carnivora, rivalled in size only by its closest relative, the polar bear (Ursus maritimus), which is much less variable in size and slightly bigger on average.”
